Port of Souls The Gun Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORT OF SOULS â?? Gun Club
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Port of Souls is one of my favourite â??late eraâ?? Gun Club songs. Itâ??s pretty
straightforward too! Itâ??s easiest to play all the rhythm guitar using a standard e-
major shape barre-chord.
Iâ??ve lifted the lyrics from Jeffrey-Leeâ??s autobiography â??Go Tell the Mountainâ??.
Intro:
e|-0-0-0--0-0--0-0--------------------------------------------------------| B|-0--0----0----0---------------------------------------------------------| G|-1-----------------X2---------------------------------------------------| D|-2----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-2----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-0----------------------------------------------------------------------|
[A] Run Molly [E]run, [G] your hills are on [E]fire
[A] Why donâ??t yo[E]u go downtow[G]n, and get it on th[E]e wire?
Bridge: BB, F#F#, G#G#
[A] Now, [E]easy street,[G] can sure get you [E]laid
[A] Doesnâ??t matte[E]r what youâ??ve d[G]one, and you [E]get paid
EE, EE E B C#
In the Port of Souls
[A]In the Port of [E]So[B]ul[C#C#]s[B] [AAA]
Lead break over chorus:

The above fits over these lines:
Too much ocea[EEE]n, too much se[AAA]a
It is no wond[EEE]er that you buried m[C#]e[A] [E]
B C# A E B A (Hold â??Aâ?? into next verse)
But its alright
[A] Rose Connally[E] [G]donâ??t go in th[E]e field
[A] You might find something [E]underneath,[G] underneath what is [E]real
Bridge: BB, F#F#, G#G#
[A] Now stop pulling an eyelash, only you that I hav[E]e[G] [E]
[A] And it makes me so [E]tired,[G] and this could be the [E]end
Repeat chorus
Thereâ??s a bunch of feedback and stuff for half a verse, thenâ?¦
Last half-verse:
[A] Now donâ??t call Joh[E]n Henr[G]y, just kiss him go[E]odbye
[A] It donâ??t matter[E] anywa[G]y, so simply[E] goodbye
Repeat chorus
Second part of chorus repeats several times with different lyrics:
[1]I didnâ??t get lonely dear,
I didnâ??t have a chance to see, but its alright
[2]You donâ??t have to say goodbye
No! no
But its alright
And different lead breaks:
Rhythm gtr: E E E A A A E E E

b = bend
Last time round heâ??s just throttling the life out of the b string on the 16th fret
with lots of bend!
There we are then! Enjoy!
Cheers
